BREAKING BENJAMIN’S
“THE DIARY OF JANE” MAKES MAJOR IMPACT AT RADIO AS BAND
CONFIRMS SUMMER TOUR
With their new single “The Diary Of Jane” making enormous strides at Modern Rock and Active Rock radio, platinum rockers BREAKING BENJAMIN have announced a headlining summer tour launching July 21 with a show at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia and wrapping August 30, back in their Wilkes-Barre, PA hometown. BREAKING BENJAMIN will be joined on the road from July 21-August 30 by their guests Dropping Daylight and Evans Blue, and they will also perform at select shows with Staind.
The upcoming leg of dates precedes the August 8 street date for BREAKING BENJAMIN’s third and much-anticipated album PHOBIA (Hollywood Records). “The Diary Of Jane” single is already #13 at Modern Rock and #6 at Active Rock.
The supernatural-themed “The Diary Of Jane” video–recently shot in New York at an old mansion–premiered on Yahoo Music and had 297,000 streams. The song’s theme of romantic torment–“As I burn another page/As I look the other way/I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane”–is intensified by the band’s mix of hard-charging rock, sharp hooks and soaring vocals.
PHOBIA follows BREAKING BENJAMIN’s explosive platinum 2004 album WE ARE NOT ALONE, which produced a pair of compelling #1 rock hits, “So Cold” and “Sooner Or Later.” Catch up with the guys–BEN BURNLEY, vocals/guitar; AARON FINK, guitar; MARK JAMES, bass; CHAD SZELIGA, drums–at www.breakingbenjamin.com
